Life On Mars

DCI Sam Tyler’s world is about to be turned upside down. Moments after his girlfriend and colleague, Maya, is kidnapped by a serial killer, Sam is knocked unconscious by a car and wakes up... in 1973.

Sam's dogged pursuit of evidence brings him head to head with his DCI, Gene Hunt, as the team arrests an elusive criminal high on the CID's wanted list.

As Sam starts to feel at home in 1973 Doctors in 2006 worry that he’s losing the will to live. As comfortable as he’s become, Sam knows that he can’t give up the ‘fight’ if he is ever to get home.

Sam calls into question the ethos of his whole department when he takes on a local gangster. But does he realise the full consequences of this fight? And can Gene lay to rest a ghost from his past?

Investigating the murder of a Manchester United football fan, Sam, Gene and WPC Annie Cartwright go undercover to gather evidence in the local pub - Gene's ideal job!

When his mother's voice bleeds through from 2006, Sam hears her say goodbye to him. His life support machine is to be turned off at 2pm, while in 1973, a hostage-taker will kill his prisoners at 2pm. What does all this mean?
